Delicious Cocoa Butter and Honey DIY Lip Balm.

Posted on November 24, 2012

The weather in London is getting colder and my lips are starting to chap. Thus I start using a lot of lip balms. But, since I adore making my own natural skin care, I always make the lip balms myself. It is really easy and takes like 10-15 min.

Today I am going to share one of my recipes for a nourishing Cocoa Butter and Honey lip balm. This is my favorite one. It stays on my lips for a long time due to the organic beeswaxthat I add. And if I use it for 1-2 days my lips transform from chapped and dry to smooth and moisturized.

All you need for this DIY lip balm is:

1. Shea Butter (I also add Cupuacu Butter, which is hard to get in London) – 1 tablespoon

6. Small containers (You can use the ones that are left from the old lip balms)

Shea, Cocoa and Avocado Butters – Nourishing and extremely moisturizing, protecting the delicate lip skin from the harsh cold weather and the sun. Cocoa and Shea butters are also known for their wound-healing properties, so they are perfect for chapped, bleeding skin.
